The work-hard, train-hard and play-hard culture may put elite athletes at higher risk of sport abuse. Sport could be addictive almost like drugs or alcohol. The boundary between passion and exercise addiction is very small and difficult to recognize.<\/b><\/p>\n

Unfortunately research shows that people could be addicted to sport. It is a behavioral addiction like gambling, shopping, sexual (hypersexuality), computer \/ video game playing or Internet addiction. What are the main symptoms of sport addiction? Primarily loss of control over behavior. Although sport brings us a lot of benefits, it is also possible to be addicted to sport. However sport is a healthy activity and socially desirable. It can also bring negative effects for addicted people. Everything is good in balance, but there are areas where we could lose control. Neither shopping nor computer games are harmful when we keep the balance. The same thing is with sport \u2013 excess could be destructive.<\/p>\n

During working out hormones are secreted in the brain like: dopamine, serotonin and endorphines \u2013 happiness hormones. Therefore athletes feel blissfully and pleasantly. When they work out. It is also possible to be addicted to adrenalin which are secreted during doing extreme sport. So how does the addiction mechanism work? People easily remember positive states of ecstasy and they have a tendency to repeat behaviors that cause these feelings.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon of addiction is difficult to diagnose. We can distinguish a few most important symptoms when you should be worried if they appear in your behavior:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Loss of control<\/b> \u2013 it is a strong need to do something. The loss of impulse control is when you continue exercises when you are ill and against medical advice. Sometimes overtraining also could be the sign of losing control.<\/li>\n
  2. Withdrawal symptoms<\/b> \u2013 if someone who\u2019s addicted to physical exercise is prevented from training, that person will experience withdrawal symptoms like irritability, bad mood, increased anxiety, problems with sleeping and increased arousal of sexuality.<\/li>\n
  3. Social and\/or proffessional sacrifices<\/b> \u2013 neglect of family and proffesion duties. These could appear as conflicts with family or with employers. An addicted person spends most of their time on an addictive activity.<\/li>\n
  4. Addiction as a way to dealing with stress or handling of negative emotions. As is well known, sport is reccomended as safe way of acting out stress, and also getting rid of negative emotions. However, you should be careful not to overdo sport, beacuse it could be harmful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The obsessive approach to physical activity could be negative for our quality of life. It is important to keep rationality and balance.<\/p>\n

    4 OZNAKI, \u017bE JESTE\u015a UZALE\u017bNIONY OD SPORTU<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Pracuj ci\u0119\u017cko, trenuj ci\u0119\u017cko i b\u0105d\u017a twardy! Takie podej\u015bcie w \u015bwiecie sportu nara\u017ca sportowc\u00f3w na ryzyko uzale\u017cnienia od aktywno\u015bci fizycznej. Tak, od sportu tak\u017ce mo\u017cna si\u0119 uzale\u017cni\u0107, podobnie jak od narkotyk\u00f3w czy alkoholu. Granica pomi\u0119dzy pasj\u0105, a uzale\u017cnieniem jest bardzo cienka i trudna do okre\u015blenia.<\/b><\/p>\n

    \"_\"Niestety badania pokazuj\u0105, \u017ce ludzie mog\u0105 uzale\u017cni\u0107 si\u0119 od sportu. Jest to uzale\u017cnienie behawioralne podobne do na\u0142ogowego hazardu, zakupoholizmu, uzale\u017cnienia od seksu (hiperseksualno\u015bci), uzale\u017cnienia od komputera \/ gier lub uzale\u017cnienia od internetu. Czym cechuje si\u0119 wyst\u0105pienie uzale\u017cnienia? G\u0142\u00f3wnie utrat\u0105 kontroli nad zachowaniem. Pomimo wielu korzy\u015bci jakie niesie ze sob\u0105 uprawianie sportu, mo\u017cna si\u0119 od niego uzale\u017cni\u0107. Sport jako czynno\u015b\u0107 z pozoru po\u017c\u0105dana spo\u0142ecznie i zdrowa mo\u017ce przynie\u015b\u0107 tak\u017ce negatywne skutki osobie uzale\u017cnionej. Wszystko jest dla ludzi. Jednak s\u0105 obszary, w kt\u00f3rych mo\u017cemy utraci\u0107 kontrol\u0119 w dzia\u0142aniach. Ani zakupy, ani gry komputerowe nie s\u0105 szkodliwe kiedy wykonujemy je z umiarem. Tak samo jest ze sportem. Jednak jego nadmiar mo\u017ce by\u0107 szkodliwy.<\/p>\n

    Podczas uprawiania sportu w m\u00f3zgu wydzielane s\u0105 hormony: dopamina, serotonina i endorfiny \u2013 hormony szcz\u0119\u015bcia. Dlatego w\u0142a\u015bnie sportowcy czuj\u0105 si\u0119 b\u0142ogo i przyjemnie, kiedy uprawiaj\u0105 sport. Mo\u017cna tak\u017ce uzale\u017cni\u0107 si\u0119 od adrenaliny wydzielanej podczas uprawiania sport\u00f3w ekstremalnych. Jak zatem dzia\u0142a mechanizm uzale\u017cnienia? Ludzie \u0142atwo zapami\u0119tuj\u0105 pozytywne stany ekstazy i maj\u0105 tendencj\u0119 do powtarzania dzia\u0142a\u0144, kt\u00f3re te odczucia wywo\u0142uj\u0105.<\/p>\n

    Zjawisko uzale\u017cnienia od sportu jest trudne do zdiagnozowania. Mo\u017cemy wyr\u00f3\u017cni\u0107 kilka istotnych objaw\u00f3w, kt\u00f3re powinny zaniepokoi\u0107, gdy wyst\u0105pi\u0105 w naszym zachowaniu:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Utrata kontroli<\/b> \u2013 jest to silny przymus wykonywania danej czynno\u015bci. Utrata kontroli impulsu wyst\u0119puje kiedy kontynuujesz treningi pomimo tego, \u017ce jeste\u015b chory lub wbrew zaleceniom lekarza. Czasami przetrenowanie mo\u017ce by\u0107 tak\u017ce objawem utraty kontroli impuls\u00f3w.<\/li>\n
    2. Efekty odstawienne<\/b> \u2013 osoba uzale\u017cniona nie potrafi wytrzyma\u0107 d\u0142u\u017cszy czas bez kontynuowania trening\u00f3w. Gdy przestaje pojawiaj\u0105 si\u0119 u niej efekty odstawienne takie jak dra\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107, z\u0142e samopoczucie, zwi\u0119kszony niepok\u00f3j, problemy ze snem i zwi\u0119kszone napi\u0119cie seksualne.<\/li>\n
    3. Zaniedbania socjalne i\/lub zawodowe<\/b> \u2013 zaniedbywanie obowi\u0105zk\u00f3w rodzinnych i zawodowych. Mog\u0105 pojawi\u0107 si\u0119 konflikty w rodzinie lub z pracodawc\u0105. Uzale\u017cniony po\u015bwi\u0119ca wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 swojego czasu na aktywno\u015b\u0107 uzale\u017cniaj\u0105c\u0105.<\/li>\n
    4. Uzale\u017cnienie jako spos\u00f3b radzenia sobie ze stresem lub \u0142agodzeniem negatywnych emocji. Jak wiadomo sport jest zalecany jako bezpieczny \u015brodek odreagowania na stres, a tak\u017ce na pozbycie si\u0119 z\u0142ych emocji. Nale\u017cy jednak uwa\u017ca\u0107, \u017ceby nie przesadzi\u0107 z jego nadmiarem, bo mo\u017ce by\u0107 szkodliwy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Obsesyjne podej\u015bcie do aktywno\u015bci fizycznej mo\u017ce sta\u0107 si\u0119 negatywne dla naszej jako\u015bci \u017cycia. Nale\u017cy zachowa\u0107 zdrowy rozs\u0105dek i balans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
